Abstrakt: In this work, cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs) has been synthesized via sonochemical green synthetic protocol with Delonix elata leaves water extract act as a capping and stabilizing agents. The phase, crystalline nature, structural arrangement, optical absorbance and electrical responses of the CdS QDs were studied using XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, UV-Vis analysis. The corrosion inhibition performance of CdS QDs corrosion inhibitor was tested in the presence of electrolyte mediums namely 1M HCl, 6M KOH, and 3.5% NaCl. The Tafel polarization curve shows that the corrosion rate of the zinc (Zn) plate is reduced when the plate were coated with CdS QDs under all aqueous electrolytes, particularly at a 3.5% NaCl medium.
